      This book is about a boy, Vincent, and two girls, Delia and Katrina. Both girls have problems throughout the story, but Vincent is the one causeing all of them. Good book for romance or drama readers. There are a few dislikes about the character Kartina, but overall it's a very good book.

    Killer's Kiss - R.L. Stine

    Chapter

    1

    Whoa!

    Vincent Milano dropped back against the sofa cushions. He could still feel the touch of Delia Easton’s lips on his cheek.

    He watched her run a silver tube of purple lipstick over her lips.

    She stroked it across her full lower lip. She smoothed it over her top lip. She carefully outlined her lips.

    Something must have told her it looked perfect. She smacked her lips together and blotted them with a tissue. Then she tossed the tissue onto the table in front of the couch.

    A perfect set of lip prints stained the white tissue. Dark purple lip prints. They grinned up at Vincent the same way Delia grinned at him from her spot on the couch.

    Vincent ran a hand through his wavy, dark hair. He reached across Delia and grabbed a tissue from her bag. Then he wiped a smudge of purple lipstick off his cheek.

    Now what were we talking about? he asked. He gave Delia one of his Vincent-Milano-trademark smiles.

    We need to plan your birthday party, Delia replied. She checked her watch. But I guess we’ll have to do that some other time. It’s late. I should go home.

    Vincent scooted closer. "It’s not that late. You don’t have to go yet." He stroked one finger under her left ear.

    Delia giggled. Then she glanced at the front window. Your parents will probably be home soon, she said.

    "But they’re not home yet." Vincent turned to the window. He couldn’t see much—just Delia’s little red Jetta parked in the driveway. The street in front of the house stood empty.

    They won’t be home for a while. Actually, Vincent’s parents wouldn’t be back for hours. But he expected someone at nine. Someone Vincent did not want Delia to see.

    He checked the clock on the mantel.

    Only eight-thirty. Plenty of time before Karina arrived. He might as well enjoy himself while he waited.

    Vincent kissed Delia again. She would never guess that his big smile had anything to do with Karina Frye.

    Mmmm. Delia stared up at him, her brown eyes sparkling. I went shopping for a new outfit today, she told him. I want something special to wear on your birthday. I tried on a purple vinyl skirt, but I’m not sure …

    Oh, great, Vincent thought. Karina and Delia will both expect to spend my birthday with me.

    Vincent laughed. You’d look awesome in purple vinyl!

    Delia blushed.

    It’s the truth, Vincent told himself. And it’s what she wants to hear. What’s wrong with that?

    Delia wasn’t beautiful—not like Karina. But people noticed her everywhere she went.

    You have great hair, Vincent whispered. He ran his hands through Delia’s long, dark curls. And you know that purple lipstick drives me crazy, he added.

    Yes! He found exactly the right thing to say. Delia planted a kiss on Vincent’s mouth. He tried not to think about Karina while he kissed Delia.

    He would never be able to choose between the two girls. They were too different. He couldn’t compare them.

    Karina had super-smooth blond hair and lightblue eyes. She was prettier than anyone Vincent had ever seen. She reminded him of Michelle Pfeiffer.

    Delia was outgoing and outrageous. Karina was sweet and smart. He liked them both—a lot.

    If his luck held, he could keep going out with both of them.

    Delia sighed. I can’t believe I was ever dumb enough to think you liked Karina. You’re not angry about that, are you?

    Vincent ignored the queasy feeling that shot through his stomach. Leave it to Delia to mention Karina now.

    Delia didn’t have a clue that he was seeing Karina. And Karina didn’t know about Delia. If she did, she wouldn’t be coming over.

    I’m not angry. Vincent tried to keep his voice steady. "You and Karina fight over everything. It figures that you would both want the same guy."

    "Yeah, it figures Karina would want my boyfriend. Delia pulled away from Vincent and sat up. She’s been jealous of me since we were kids! My clothes. My grades. My friends."

    Delia sighed. Karina pretends to be such a goody-goody. But as soon as she heard we were going out, she went after you.

    Vincent rolled his eyes. He never felt guilty about anything—and he wasn’t about to start now. But listening to Delia talk about Karina made him nervous.

    He checked the clock on the mantel.

    Eight-thirty.

    Whoa! How could it still be eight-thirty?

    Vincent’s breath caught in his throat. He jumped up from the couch.

    Vincent? What’s wrong? Delia called.

    Uh—nothing. Trying his best to look casual, Vincent strolled over to the fireplace. He bent his head close to the clock.

    No ticking. The clock had stopped.

    And he had no idea how long ago. It could be nine o’clock right now!

    Vincent’s heart banged against his ribs. He turned back to Delia. She started to apply a fresh coat of purple lipstick.

    You … you’re right about my parents, Vincent stammered. He hurried across the room and grabbed Delia’s arm. He hauled her off the couch. "They will be home soon. You’d better leave."

    Excuse me? A minute ago you said—

    I know, but I didn’t realize how late it was. Vincent turned to the window. Still no sign of Karina. But she should be here any second.

    My mom thinks I’m studying for my calculus test, he told Delia. I promised I would. Vincent handed Delia her green and purple parka and nudged her toward the door. She will kill me if she finds out you’ve been here.

    He flicked on the lamp near the door and peeked outside.

    No Karina.

    He yanked open the front door. I’ll see you at school tomorrow, he told Delia. Right?

    Right, she answered. Delia checked her lipstick in the mirror that hung in the front hallway. Then she gave Vincent a quick kiss on the cheek. Tomorrow, she said, and made her way out the door.

    The second she left, Vincent raced into the family room. He fluffed the pillows on the couch. He grabbed the tissue Delia had used to blot her lipstick and shoved it into his pocket.

    When he heard Delia’s car start, he rushed to the window in time to wave good-bye. He watched the red taillights of her Jetta disappear around the corner—just as the headlights of another car came into view.

    Karina!

    Vincent’s heart started pounding again—with excitement. He waited by the window, watching Karina park her silver Eclipse and climb out.

    In the moonlight, Karina’s long, blond hair appeared as silver as her car. She had it pulled back into a sleek ponytail that brushed against her shoulders as she walked to the front door.

    Vincent grinned to himself as he watched her step into the light of the porch. Karina wore a short, black skirt and dark stockings that showed off her long legs. Even though it was February, she didn’t wear a coat. Her sweater matched her blue eyes exactly.

    Vincent opened the door before Karina rang the bell. He stepped out onto the front porch and gazed down the empty street.

    That was a close call, he thought.

    Karina! He smiled. The Vincent-Milano-trademark smile. It’s about time you got here! I’ve been bored out of my mind all night.

    Sorry I’m late, Karina answered. "But guess what? As I drove over here, I thought of the
